Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

It feels like people are waking up

Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

"At least 14 instances where items are repeated, totaling $325 million in claimed savings."

And who they didn't like

NEW: The Associated Press is suing Trump Administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from events over the organization continuing to use the name 'Gulf of Mexico.' AP says the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Nailed it.

Love to see it!

Brilliant form of activism. Listen to this smackdown. 😊 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Current mood

Delusional old man. His approval rating is tanking.

He nails it.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

200 million dollars of waste.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Germans will vote on Sunday for a new chancellor, a critical component of Europe’s response to President Trump’s second term, and a choice that will resonate far beyond the country’s borders.

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Good news. Protect our 1st, and most important Amendment.

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

Good Morning friends 💙 Friday night #47 fired several military officials leading us closer toward fascism. Thank you, #GovernorPritzker for being the leader we need ~ #SheShed #Illinois youtu.be/u3qaPhMmoIk?...

Hey hey Maine!!! You have an election this week just like Connecticut. Go vote! Take your friends and family. Make YOUR voices heard.

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - MAINE STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 24🚨 Democrat: Sean Faircloth (seanfaircloth.com) Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH🗓️ Area: Bangor, Orono, Brewer, Veazie Maine Democrats have a mere 2-seat Majority in their State House. We need to hold this seat by a big margin.

Courage and bravery, or capitulation and appeasement. Those are the only choices with a mob boss in the White House. Maine is lucky to have a fighter in their Governor and AG.

🚨WATCH🚨 ON THE LINE with VoteVets, hosted by @fpwellman.bsky.social, digs into Trump’s reckless and feckless military purge.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

As of this morning: Over 206,000 children have benefitted from our nation-leading Child Tax Credit, with nearly $270 million going into the pockets of hardworking Minnesotans.   Let’s keep it going!

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
